I'm into it, and I'll be so bold as to start at the beginning of the alphabet with one of my favorites, Althea. I'm sure that many of you will think it's scandolous to not start with Alligator, since it is before Althea alphabetically and is from *the only good periond of GD music worth listening to* but I like Althea better.
Here's a link: http://arts.ucsc.edu/gdead/agdl/althea.html
I like the "sleeping at perchance to dream" explanation from "Hamlet." My favorite version is 1992 Compton Terrace in AZ. Hope this is what you're looking for Max.

No doubt Althea is some of Hunter's best lyrics. Have you seen the Althea video from 3-28-81? Garcia's guitar playing on the last solo is nothing short of incredible. The camera zooms in on him so you can see what/how he's playing. Would love to hear about the meaning of those lyrics.

I'm with you on starting with one of my favorite songs - sounds good to start with that tomorrow if others are with us. Good call.
